This STEP project is using innovative mentoring and professional development activities to (1) institutionalize Integrated Learning Communities for at-risk engineering freshmen, (2) increase engineering and science degrees by 55 degrees per year, (3) support and encourage community college transfer students, and (4) double the graduation rate of at-risk engineering students, defined as those beginning their education in pre-calculus mathematics. Project components include faculty-coordinated Integrated Learning Communities (ILCs), pre-transfer support of community college students, a "Mathematics Boot Camp" to support students' performance on the Mathematics Placement Exam, the integration of science and engineering modules in the algebra series, the Engineering Success and Professional Development Center, and incentive awards. Leveraged support of the NSF-funded Louis Stokes New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation Program (New Mexico AMP) ensures that all students enjoy a broad range of interventions and resources. The STEP project is contributing to the graduation and professional success of STEM students, including those who are historically underrepresented, by improving the educational experiences that lead to greater retention and progression; and providing support and encouragement for students to enroll in graduate studies, including the pursuit of the Ph.D. Project development is being informed by both formative and summative assessment approaches. Results are being shared with local, regional, and national audiences through professional publications and presentations.

该STEP项目正在使用创新的指导和专业发展活动，以（1）将风险工程新生的综合学习社区制度化，（2）每年增加55个工程和科学学位，（3）支持和鼓励社区学院转学生，以及（4）将风险工程学生的毕业率提高一倍，被定义为那些开始接受微积分前数学教育的人。 项目的组成部分包括教师协调的综合学习社区（ILC），社区学院学生的预转移支持，“数学靴子营”，以支持学生的数学分班考试的表现，在代数系列，工程成功和专业发展中心，和奖励的科学和工程模块的整合。NSF资助的路易斯·斯托克斯新墨西哥州少数民族参与计划联盟（新墨西哥州AMP）的杠杆支持，确保所有学生享有广泛的干预和资源。STEP项目有助于STEM学生的毕业和职业成功，包括那些历史上代表性不足的学生，通过改善教育经验，提高保留率和进步;并为学生提供支持和鼓励，以参加研究生学习，包括追求博士学位。形成性和总结性评估方法为项目发展提供了信息。 正在通过专业出版物和介绍与地方、区域和国家受众分享成果。
